In today's Friday Five from the Revgals, we're talking about our blog names and identities:

1. So how did you come up with your blogging name? And/or the name of your blog?When I was trying to think about what I wanted my blog to be called, I was struck (ow) one day by how much a blogger is like the Chorus from Greek tragedies. I played Chorus in a production of Antigone in high school, and have always felt attached to that kind of combined observer and participant relationship.

2. Are there any code names or secret identities in your blog? Any stories there?

Most of my blog names are pretty simple and do just enough to protect people's identities. My husband is WonderHusband because he is, indeed Wonderful. My mom and dad are Maternal and Paternal Units, respectively, and my brothers are identified by their relationship to me by age. The cats are Mama and Baby... and on it goes. Maybe I need to be more creative about how I identify people...

3. What are some blog titles that you just love? For their cleverness, drama, or sheer, crazy fun?

About Me

Married 30-something living in Sherwood Park with the husband of my dreams, our beautiful daughter and two ridiculous cats. University administrator, PK, cross-stitcher, choral singer, baseball fanatic... Life is varied and wonderful.

Middle Brother: Also my elder, but by not quite as much as EB. He works for our provincial government, doing neat things with disaster preparedness planning. He beat up the boys who were mean to me in elementary school.

Paternal Unit: My dad, who is a professional storyteller in another province far away.
